Built CareerCompass, a Spring Boot-based college prediction platform that helps engineering and medical aspirants shortlist colleges using rank, category, quota, branch preference, state preference, fee filters, and historical cutoff data. The system classifies recommendations into Safe, Moderate, and Dream choices to support better counselling and choice-filling decisions. Developed a full-stack MVC application using Java 17, Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, MySQL, Thymeleaf, Bootstrap, and Chart.js. Implemented student workflows for prediction, wishlist, college comparison, cutoff trends, profile management, and choice filling, along with admin workflows for managing colleges, branches, exams, users, cutoff CSV uploads, and analytics. Containerized the application using Docker Compose and added CI validation with GitHub Actions.
